The incident in which Jorge Torres Jr. died trapped in a suitcase happened after the couple were drinking, according to Sarah Boone. In her version of events, Torres Jr. got in the suitcase while the couple played hide-and-seek before she then went upstairs and fell asleep. As soon as she found Torres Jr. unresponsive the next morning, Boone first called her ex-husband who then urged Boone to call 911 once he arrived at the house, The Independent reports.

The degree of Boone and Torres Jr.’s intoxication at the time also changed in Boone’s story. In 2018, Boone was charged with battering Torres Jr. by strangulation, although authorities said the primary aggressor in the situation could not be determined. In that case, Boone said she acted in self-defense, Fox 35 Orlando elsewhere writes, citing court affidavits. In 2019, Torres Jr. was arrested for battering Boone on three occasions. Boone admitted she zipped Torres Jr. in the suitcase and said the couple agreed it would be funny if Torres Jr. hid there. Torres Jr. did willingly, Boone later told investigators.
